The Return of the final Hogweed in Osnabrück & Selling Hogweeds by the Pound in Münster 1973-09-23 and 1973-09-25; Aud remaster by Andrew Skeoch from master tapes (TRAP 07/08)


These tapes have been my personal holy grail. I've been successful in hiding them for 34 years, not making any copy before...

Here is my 'contrast clause':

1. This is not the fourth nor the fifth concert but the 2nd and the 3rd of the Selling England Shows back in 1973 (according to the database).

2. These 2 Shows have have a setlist and order different to the other Selling-Shows. The Giant Hogweed returned to Germany as encore. Both shows miss Horizons and More Fool Me not being performed. IKWIL was set on the 2nd place - not as at Paris/Quebec(?) e.g.

3. Not the later concerts but esp. these two concerts are GENESIS as I know them: powerful and nearly perfect (just in my opinion) performing (a lot of) their greatest, beautiful stuff!

4. The intros of Peter are mostly very short - so the equipment must have been still ok at the beginning of the tour :).

5. These audience recordings are not the very best from this tour (which is HOGWEED 07) - but are very listenable and the remaster has achieved a very good sound.

6. The recordings are not compressed - but kept the full dynamics of the music.

7. This is not a new Hogweed release (definitely not) - but an Andrew Skeoch remaster with artwork in the tradition of the Hogweed releases!

Doc,

I'm not sure what the .rar issues are. I downloaded this overnight & it extracted fine for me this morning. 877 MB (920,236,470 bytes) 42 files, 4 folders.

Thanks again for putting these up, they look & so far sound incredible. I can't wait to see what you come up with from my favorite era (post-breakup through Duke). I have a handful of concerts in mp3 that I'd love to get a .flac upgrade for.
